I think that what Geert was getting at was the discrepancy between the 
two test runs seen here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2022/09/msg00015.html

The first has this:

[    0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda2 fb=false debug=mem BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinux-5.15.0-2-m68k
[    0.000000] Unknown kernel command line parameters "fb=false BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinux-5.15.0-2-m68k", will be passed to user space.

Whereas the second has this:

[    0.000000] Kernel command line: ignore_loglevel -r initrd.img-5.15.0-2-m68k root=/dev/sda2 fb=false debug=mem BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinux-5.18.0-4-m68k
[    0.000000] Unknown kernel command line parameters "-r fb=false BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinux-5.18.0-4-m68k", will be passed to user space.

The presence of "-r filename" in the second log indicates that amiboot did 
not act upon those arguments but passed them to the kernel instead.

When you run the tests I proposed, please use the first method again i.e. 
omit "ignore_loglevel".
